for Corporation Celebrations.
One does not have to overhaul his men,
ory to any great extent TO reach back to
the time when Independence day was the
one day Of the year when skyrockets and
pinwheels asserted themselves as a SYM
boil Of our country's greatness. Along in
the fall, 1t is true, when candidates for
public ONCE sought the suffrage Of their
fellow citizens, the Roman candle supple
mented the oil torch as an adjunct of po-
htical professions. But, as a general rule,
the fireworks that were not burned on
Fourth Of July night We're carefully
packed away for next year, II is not so
any more. Pyrotechnic displays are prom
tnent attractions at summer resorts all
through the season, and the father OF a
family who takes his boys and girls in the
country to pass the heated months not
unfrequently adds q box of fireworks to
the Lares and Penates that he carries
along.
''This fireworks package business has
grown to some considerable proportions,

BOX COLLECTIONS.
"well, / guess you'd think So" replied
the pyrotechnician. 1--WE instituted the
plan Of putting up these box collections
about sixteen years ago, and 1t has been
growing more popular every year. Want
to know why' Well, most people who
buy fireworks for a Fourth Of July cele-
bration very naturally put of the pur-
chase until the last minute. For that
matter, most purchasers of any kind Of
goods do the same thing, but just stop
and think how the rule applies to fire.
works when you consider what they are.
II Is not to be expected that a man would
want a box of them lying around loose in
his house for two or three weeks. Yes,
II there's anything that's bought at the
eleventh hour, its fireworks. Then,
again, not one person In twenty knows
what he wants. There is a general desire
for something that will make a show, and
perhaps make q noise, but the average
man knows only the commonplace names
Of pieces that will produce certain effects.
They know what bengola lights, triangles
and mines are, but we can't expect the
president Of a bank, or q man who has
made a fortune in potatoes, to expend his
valuable time in trying to learn the differ
ence between a saucisson mine and q
fourbillion rocket.
So we, as it were, do their thinking for
them, and put mp a collection according to
our knowledge Of results consistent with
the price charged for it. It's very much
cheaper for the purchaser. too. Now
there's a collection packed ready for de.

IL stands. 1t contains thirty pieces-none

and that one there, and wasting at leas,
half an hours time in doing iti Well,
here's our catalogue, and you can see al
once that, II you bought each one of thost
thirty pieces at retail, you'd have to pay
something over 81 for the lot, and they

REV. pB. EATON'S REMARKS.
4 great and good man has gone to ais
rest. One who for many years was con
spcuous among us rs a man Of sterling
integrity, noble bearing, scholarly attain
ments, eloquent speech and devout pety
has passed off the stage of human aCtivi.
Ties and stepped down into the regions OF
eternal silence. The Rev. McKendree
Petty is no more. And yet though dead.
he speaks to Us to-day and shall continue
70 speak to men through many genera
tons to come. No life like his can go ont
with his breath no character such us he
hulIded can be removed from the sight OF
men at once no influence such as he eX-
erted among his fellows can cease to be
felt when the bodily presence is re-
moved. 1t was Prot. Petty's good
fortune to be permitted 70 touch many
a young life i'll it, most susceptible
stage and lay his mOuldug hand upon
many a character in its formative period.
[ pom these yOung men Prof Petty i'm
pressed something or his own noble char-
acter and aspirations, and may we not be
lieVe that many OF tsem are pursuing
| better and more useful lives because OF
the impressions he made upon them
| While III his relations 10 men he was
modest and self distrustfu;. almost TO a
| fault, he was a nau Ct deep convictions
and could not be turned aside from what
he deemed to be the right. Although he
had opinions Of his own on all important
subjects he was no bigot Recognizing
the fact that differences of opinion con
corning matters OF religious belief are in
evitable under the present constitution
of things he accorded to every man the
right of private judgment and respected
him for it. There was no limit to his Chris
tian fellowship, His doctrine was that
all who loved our Lord Jesus Christ in
! sincerity were his brethren and his friends.
Prof. Petty was preacher of very mark
ed ability. He was simple, plain, direct,
| concise scrptural, emotional, full of
power. Himself calm and seldom moved,
his audience was seldom unmoved. Had
| be given himself wholly TO the work of
! the ministry, and broken the trammelS OF
the great natural ditlidence which bound
| him, he would have had few peers IN the
